Nearby, you see another cage with a teenage boy in it. You notice he is badly injured.

"I should have come with you. You failed because I'm a coward!"

Good job!
**Victory!**You fall to the ground in defeat and watch as the bandits also kill the blacksmith's son.
"Won't be saving him after all," they laugh.
Just then, the blacksmith charges in. In a burst of rage he slaughters all remaining bandits in sight.
Seeing his son, he falls to the ground and screams.
**Game Over**As you run from camp, you run into the blacksmith.
"I decided I was done being a coward. I see you just started. You best hope I find my son alive!"
He runs past you toward the camp.
**Game Over**As you kill the boy, you look out into the forest around the camp and see the blacksmith's face. In a moment, the fear and timidy in his eyes shifts to a cold anger. Before you can signal to him, he disappears into the forest.
The bandits laugh together and let you go.
